Reportedly there was an armed " Resource" officer in the school. He did not come in contact with the shooter who blended in with the student population.

In fact, as MORE people began owning guns, both the gun homicide rate and nonfatal violent gun crimes rate have DECREASED, by 50% and 76%, respectively.
Why don't you tell that to one of the parents at the funeral of his son or daughter.

Other politicians should learn from the speech, be sympathetic to the victims, and don't lie about the facts (like liberals are doing saying it's easier to buy a gun than vote, it's impossible to buy a gun illegally, there are no gun restrictions, Florida has few gun laws [it has a lot] etc.)

THANK YOU and MAGA to everyone!
Did he apologize for removing the restrictions for mentally ill (like the shooter) to get guns?

If he did not bring it up, then he was being dishonest.

it's likely to bear some resemblance to the plan the President Windbag put into place after the Mandalay Bay shooting.

This! A thousand times. I could have pulled a bunch of random words from a bowl and communicated better than this imbecile.

Trump supporters. The very bottom of the barrel.
Great point.

The U.S. government is perfectly capable of f-ing up two investigations involving possible criminal activities at the same time.

The only efficient thing I see from Uncle Sam is the armed robbery it commits to fund its endeavors.

Usually how it goes when the killer isn’t black or Muslim.

After mental illness, it must be a false flag.

Clockwork.
